Case studies - Super Tuesday

The Job: Then Senator Obama brought his presidential campaign to VideoLink's Newton, MA studio on February 5, 2008 to conduct a series of television interviews with the national networks and local affiliates in Super Tuesday primary states around the country.  In less than three hours, Senator Obama did 18 interviews at VideoLink, which uplinked the feed to the networks and stations via satellite.  The interviews were seen on the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, CNN programs, and many others. VideoLink put the entire video production together in less than 24 hours. 

Our Newton and Boston studios also played host to Senators John Kerry and Edward Kennedy for multiple interviews as well as Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.  In addition, VideoLink was the live studio broadcast choice for Mike Barnicle on MSNBC and Ed Schultz on CNN's Election Center, as well as international networks such as TV Tokyo and the Middleast Broadcasting Network. 

Out in the field, our fleet of satellite trucks including our high-definition uplink vehicle, provided transmission services for rallies for Senator John McCain's supporters at Faneuil Hall and Senator Obama's supporters along with Major Garrett at the Seaport World Trade Center, both for FOX News Channel.  Rounding out the primary coverage were our satellite trucks providing uplinks after the polls closed for Senator Hillary Clinton for Fuji TV in New York and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's deliverance of his speech from Boston for HDNews and FOX News Channel.
